How We Got Here

Johnson March Systems Inc. began in 1989 as a purchased segment of the original Johnson March Corporation. Johnson March Corporation was purchased by Waverley Minerals from the U.K., their interest was the absorbent business division of Johnson March. They sold the Water and Dust units of Johnson March to Thomas Connell Jr, the company`s then President. The Ivyland Pennsylvania facility we currently call home has gone through several expansions over the years. Originally it was a modest 12,000 sq. ft. building, with a small office and fabrication facility. In its beginning, it was home to about 15 employees split between the office and shop.

As customers began to appreciate the quality of the product and the honesty of the relationship, their requests to quote became larger and more complex projects. It quickly became apparent that additional office and fabrication space was going to be required. The first addition more than doubled the size of the facility adding much needed office space as well as heavy lift and painting capabilities in the shop.

The additional space allowed the company to grow quickly and it did not take a lot of years to realize that we were going to need more space and even heavier lift capabilites. In 1997 another large addition was completed that rendered the facility as it exists today at nearly 50,000 sq. ft. The facility today employs a lot more people between the office and shop, and has capacity to continue to grow for a long time.

We were fortunate to have this large facility, as our business path has taken us to being the world leader in Sampling Systems and Chemical Dosing systems in shelters which require significant space and very heavy lifting capabilities. Also, the space afforded us the option to manufacture Bulk Tanks for Ammonia Storage, Acid Storage and other Bulk Chemical Storage as needed.

The company is still privately owned by the Connell family, and strives to build great systems for our customers and great livelihoods for our many long time employees. Check back with the site periodically as we have some exciting new product offerings in development, as well as further changes to our facility to enhance our abilities.

Why Us?

The easy answer to this question is we are very good at what we do. Our equipment is recognized as superior from a quality and longevity standpoint. Because of our Engineering experience and Fabricating capabilities we are able to build truly custom equipment for the most detailed specifications. We build more Sampling Panels and Chemical Dosing Systems in Shelters than any company in the world; frankly most of our competitors couldn`t even lift the equipment we are often asked to build. Having a certified ISO-9001 Quality Program is not merely to have a certificate to hang on the wall. Being annually audited makes the process front of mind, this translates into a level of quality from project start to finish that sets us apart. Customers come to us to have built the exact systems they want based upon their unique preferences.
